In our world, when a large population of humans eats a lot of meat, this causes a huge amount of suffering to an enormous number of animals. This suffering is comparable with torture. You can reduce this suffering by eating less meat. It is possible to reduce the suffering of all animals by changing the law, but this would raise the price of meat to the extent that people would rarely be able to eat it. This would certainly be a good thing. However it’s much more difficult to try to change the law than it is to go vegetarian. Furthermore, if you try and protest against factory farming without going vegetarian first, you’ll be called a hypocrite. So my premise is: animals suffer when we eat meat and the best way to stop it is to stop eating meat.
